No way would I resign until your new EP is confirmed.cekkong wrote:But my future employer recommend me to tender resignation now so once the EP is approved, I am ready to work immediately.
What will you do if you are in my shoes? Will you comply or wait until EP is confirmed before tender?

Can you payoff instead of notice period. If so, ask the employer to buy out your notice period if he is so keen on an early start data.
Probably for exactly the same reason that I did.ecureilx wrote: Why would you say it is not a sign of a good employer ?

This is commonly dealt with by means of 'gardening leave', which would be specifically detailed in the contract. For example your ex-employee might pay you to not work in the same industry for a period of time; sometimes 6 months. Hence the suggestion that it gives you a lot of time for gardening.

So if you got a job in a bank and a clause in your employment contract says you have to rob a branch of a competitor each month, and you do so, then you can't be prosecuted? No, I doubt you mean that...

And employer buy off is becoming rarer nowadays, in Singapore

Tough luck

Appreciate all of your inputs.
After discussion with my prospective employer, we have agreed to wait until my EP is approved then I will serve my notice period. So I guess I can sit back and wait for the EP result.
